Want to do what I do?
Connect on Instagram for an informal chat or email me tesspollard@outlook.com – I offer a free 15-minute consultation call to discuss your goals.
Are you an aspiring copywriter but feel a bit lost or overwhelmed? I can mentor you. Perhaps you’re already freelance writing but you’d like to up your game? Let’s look into your niche and outreach strategy.
I’ve been ‘professionally’ writing since a stint at a local newspaper aged 14. I then blagged my way to a few Fashion Weeks as a teenager and managed to write for various outlets and magazines with backstage access throughout my 20s. I tried my hand at fashion PR before working in the advertising world. At 27, I set up on my own. I’ve written for leading agencies and global brands, specifically in the luxury fashion space. And I’ve managed to travel to 113 countries (and counting) while doing it.
I get so many enquiries about my digital nomad lifestyle – and I remember the times before, being unsatisfied in the 9-5 when freelancers felt impenetrable and ignored my questions. I want to change that.
I truly believe I can add value for those with a dream who don’t know where to start – because I’ve done this, with grit, charm and tears.
Let’s take your career to the next level and simultaneously improve your lifestyle.
“If you need guidance on how to stand out in an increasingly crowded market, talk to Tess. I booked a mentoring session with her to discuss my CV and portfolio, and I’m so glad I did. The feedback she gave was practical and insightful; it was really helpful to have written notes from her, as well as an hour-long call to discuss her observations and suggestions. I came away from our discussion feeling inspired, energised and with a much clearer picture of how to refresh my website and pinpoint my niche. Also: she's a delight to chat to, which is a bonus!”

“Tess was beyond helpful! In an hour I feel like I learnt so much about the industry and where I need to go, as well as receiving some really useful and tailored feedback. And, not to mention, she is one of the loveliest humans around. I would recommend Tess to anyone who is starting their career in fashion copywriting and wants some guidance and support.”

“Speaking to Tess really helped me to see all the areas where I could improve my self-marketing and presentation as a freelance writer. I really appreciated her years of experience in the fashion industry and her advice on how to position myself in my chosen niche. She has a great eye for detail and a solid understanding of what potential clients are looking for.”
